was on his way home from a busi- *
ness trip and since he was a reli- *
gious Jew, he was compelled to | *
stop over in a little ‘Staitela’ J
(town) over “Shabas.” *
“He stopped at a guest house *
under a fictitious name as he *
didn’t want to be annoyed by the i
poor of the town.
“When he came to Shule Satur
day morning, he saw the Shule!
was packed; everybody had on i
their “Tnlaisem,” but they were
not “davening.” He inquired for I
whom they were waiting, and j
they informed him that they were
waiting for the “Shtutisher gi-
vear” (richest Jew in town).
“After waiting about thirty
minutes, the “givear" finally
walked in, his head up in the air,
escorted by the “Shamous” who
handed him his “Tallis” and “si-
dur” and the davenen began.
"When it came to the reading!
of the Torah” and seeing a
stranger in ‘Shule,’ they gave the j
millionaire an ‘Aliya’ and then
they made him a ‘Mi shebcrach.’
When he was asked ‘Shenodar’
(what do you donate?), he ans

donating twice as much of what
your ‘Shtutisher givear’ is worth.’
“If a bomb had exploded in
Shule at that moment, it wouldn’t
have caused any greater excite
ment th£n these words uttered by
Moishi Rapaport.
“No one paid any further at
tention to the davenen. The
‘musolf was finished quickly and
in a matter of minutes, the entire
town was electrified by the news.
‘Saturday afternoon groups of
Jews in Shule and outside of the
Shule were discussing what to do
